If new owner wants a new stadium would you be mad if it’s not uptown?

Not enough parking directly around it.

I would be. I think that's what makes BOA Stadium so nice. Tbh, there is no room uptown for a new stadium or dome and building it elsewhere won't bring a Super Bowl bc of hotels. 

 

 

AT&T stadium has yet to host  Super Bowl bc of that reason IMO.

They sold actual tickets to stand outside and watch it on a tv screen in Arlington...PEOPLE PAID TO STAND AND WATCH TV.

*That the panthers owner can charge for.

 

part of the last tether negotion was panthers wanting more money to build a parking structure.  It should be public record so if anyone can find the renderings/plans for that it might provide a glimpse.

 

I have heard a few different times that the site of Charlotte Pipe across the road could be in consideration

They keep mentioning Minnesota in all these absurd articles.  Is BOA a dump like the Metrodome was?  Is BOA as old as the Metrodome was?  Does Charlotte get Minnesota levels of snowfall?  Is BOA at risk of having a similar roof collapse due to snow?  Does Minnesota have more people than the Carolinas?  (10 million less in fact). Is Los Angeles still in play as it was when Minnesota approved their new stadium?  Has there been any positive to the latest franchise move (Chargers)?

A lot of no’s, hell no’s, and fug no’s.

It’s about hosting a Super Bowl I guess, but BOA is a spectacular venue.

That would be a horrible place to put it. Nations Ford and 51 would be parking lots for hours trying to get out of there

No. It’s a beautiful stadium.

I love the uptown stadium experience and more than that, I don't want a new stadium where tickets will be more expensive. I enjoy taking my family to the games and I fear a new stadium could put that out of reach fiscally or severally limit the amount of experiences. 

[RumHam]

I could easily see them blowing up Gastonia to put the stadium there and say it's easier for SC/NC to commute to when really land would be cheap. Go the LA and San Francisco Routes.

if you’re looking to host a super bowl sooner rather than later i think you slap it on the north end of 485 and put the concord/kannapolis hotel groups in your radius.

[gofightwin]

Doesn't "need" to be uptown but does need to be in a visible location near some highways. And there is more than enough land near uptown to build on.  You don't think these stadiums just plop themselves down on an empty parking lot right?  They buy up existing properties and tear down whatever was there.  These are billion dollar stadiums...a lot of that costs is buying property.

[juliosantos]

thats dumb just keep the stadium its in a great location . you go from out of town for the game what is over there in that south/north border? nothing 

[Jeremy Igo]

This is dumb.

 

Don't want a dome. 

 

And love that you can see the skyline overlooking the stadium.

The best solution is semi covered roof structure similar to Dolphins’ stadium.

I hate the idea of a dome. I love the elements, and I love the uptown feel. I know they're looking at revenue and hosting Super Bowls, but I love the way it's laid out now.
